1 Code: IAEA/1/1 Committee: International Atomic Energy Agency Subject: The Situation in Iran which Reaffirming Article IV of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which establishes the inalienable right of nations to pursue peaceful nuclear programs, Acknowledging Iran s right to developing safe and peaceful nuclear energy, Noting the negative impact of economic sanctions on the innocent citizens of Iran, such as a disproportionately lowered GDP-per-capita of $1,00 and an exorbitantly high inflation rate of.5% which raises the cost of living to unsustainable levels, Recalling GC/RES/5/11, in order to remind Member States of the IAEA s available supervision and assistance in civil nuclear energy and infrastructure development, Recalling INFCIRC/84, which concerns Iran meeting its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and pertaining to all developing Member States who are in pursuit of independent nuclear energy programs, The International Atomic Energy Agency, 1. Strongly encourages regional cooperation between Iran and fellow International Atomic Energy Agency Member States in regards to the verification of the safety of their nuclear program, as this is where the majority of tension on the issue resides;. Urges Iran to honor its ratification of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and IAEA safeguards placed upon its nuclear facilities, in order to set a universal precedent for peaceful nuclear programs,. Suggests that the Security Council to consider gradually easing economic sanctions and embargoes on Iran in order to facilitate more productive diplomatic exchange provided that Iran complies with the previous operative clause, more specifically: a. Suggests Middle Eastern states governments to buy Iranian securities, therefore increasing the value of Iran s currency, b. Calls for the construction of a satellite educational facility through the Nuclear Power Institute with a new location in Tehran, dedicated to Iran s peaceful nuclear infrastructure and development in conjunction with the larger region of the Middle East and calls for more voluntary contributions to the IAEA Technical Cooperation Fund in order to devote sufficient amounts of monies toward the new location at Tehran, 4. Proposes the creation of a timeline by Iran for its nuclear energy independence for the purposes of building consensus and trust among IAEA Member States, specifically aiming for a 50% growth from Iran s current nuclear energy production or a 0 gigawatt capacity by 06, based on other similarly burgeoning nuclear development reports

2 Code: IAEA/1/ Committee: International Atomic Energy Agency Subject: The Situation in Iran Recalling Article I, Section I of the United Nations Charter that states the commitment to peaceful negotiations and diplomatic settlement of international issues by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, Bearing in mind GC(55)/RES/11, which stresses the importance of technical cooperation activities and informational and technology transfer, in the drive for increased partnerships in nuclear safety and program development as per GC/46/RES/9, Recalling Resolution GOV/011/69 which stresses the need for increased safeguards, and A/RES/6648 s encouragement of further risk reduction regarding nuclear materials and proliferation, Recognizing S/RES/1874, which applauds the diplomatic successes brought about by the Six- Party Talks as the blueprint for Annex 4 of Security Council Resolution 199 s call for eventual normalization of Iranian economic relations, Fully believing in GC/55/RES/14 s call for the creation of a Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone in the Middle East, The International Atomic Energy Agency, 1) Recommends that States consider diplomatic action as the foremost method for resolving differences over the Iranian nuclear issues, rather than focusing on aggressive action; ) Endorses greater involvement between Iran and the IAEA in the IAEA s Technical Cooperation Program, as well as the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), to ensure that Iran has the resources to effectively develop nuclear technology which can be used for the diversification of energy sources as well as: a) Treating and desalinizing water, b) Enhancing modified agricultural crops, food safety, and pest control, c) Providing medical radiation treatments and imaging, d) Aiding in the development and implementation across society; ) Encourages Iran to implement the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, and to allow the IAEA full access to all nuclear facilities; 4) Urges the cooperation of Member States to provide enriched uranium and other safer and more efficient alternative fuel sources and transport in line with the IAEA protocols governing the transportation of nuclear materials these materials to Iran for peaceful energy and technological use that will: a) Promote benefits for Iran to safely dispose of highly-enriched uranium and increase stability of future diplomatic negotiations,

3 b) Be funded by the committed Member States of: Russia, Turkey, and Brazil, c) Be contingent upon Iranian progress towards transparency and the satisfaction of its international obligations, 5) Strongly suggests a new Member State-implemented round of multilateral talks known as Talks for Regional-Iranian Cooperation (TRIC) centered on the issue of the Iranian nuclear program, modeled after the Six-Party Talks that will: a) Specifically center on the Iranian Nuclear Program while including the participation of member status of the Middle East Region, b) Initiate a series of cooperative talks between six Member States including: United States, Iran, China, Russia as well as two rotating Member States from the Middle Eastern Region which: i.)
